Abstract

The radial artery has largely replaced the femoral artery as the first choice for access because of its superior safety profile. Radial artery pseudoaneurysm from arterial wall disruption is an extremely rare complication of arterial cannulation, with a reported incidence of 0.048 percent. The development of PA after radial artery puncture for continuous blood pressure monitoring and serial blood-gas analysis has previously been reported; however, to the best of our knowledge, only one case report of PA development after a single arterial puncture for blood-gas analysis has previously been reported. Identifying potential high-risk patients, ensuring a more prolonged compression in these patients, and close monitoring even after removing the compression bandage/hemostatic device are crucial for the prevention and early identification of this complication.This chapter will give proper information regarding it.
